"The fact is, the DHS report accurately predicted the sort of radical-right terrorism that we’re now seeing across the country," Potok said. "It’s troubling that the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security would bow to unfounded criticism from the political right."

More head-in-the-sand-see-no-evil from the feds:

But missing among the statistics are numerous cases of anti-abortion violence in the United States,

Though the database includes the 2009 murder of prominent abortion doctor George Tiller by an anti-abortion extremist, it is effectively whitewashed, making no reference to abortion in the entire entry. In the summary, Tiller is described merely as a "medical doctor," ...But it doesn't include the 2007 attempted bombing of an abortion clinic in Austin, Texas.

He's in a quandry. While he does want to offend his base, he must worry about women drifting away from Republicans. He has a draconian bill in front of him for signing, that would affect contraceptive education and further restrict women's reproductive health decisions.

LONDON (AP) — The terror plot involved targeting British reserve troops using a toy-car packed with explosives.

But investigators said Thursday Britain's domestic spy agency of MI5 and police were able to stop Zahid Iqbal, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, Umar Arshad and Syed Farhan Hussain before they could launch the deadly attack.

Iqbal and Ahmed were given extended sentences of 16 years and 3 months, which means they will be in jail for more than 11 years and put on parole for the rest of the time. Arshad was sentenced to more than six years in jail, while Hussain received more than five years.

The British men — aged between 22 and 31 — pleaded guilty in March to engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism.
